Savory Cabbage Strudel

Step by step: Savory Cabbage Strudel

• Step1

  To make the strudel dough, sift 250 grams (9 oz) of flour into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mixing on low speed using the hook attachment, add ½-teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar.

• Step2

  Gradually add 200 ml (7 fl oz) of water. Mix for a few minutes until blended, add 25 grams (1 oz) of vegetable oil and mix for another 10-12 minutes, until smooth and very elastic.

• Step3

  Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside for one hour at room temperature.

• Step4

  Make the filling: Small dice 100 grams (3.5 oz) of onion. Clean, core and thinly slice 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of cabbage. Heat 75 grams (2.5 oz) of butter in a large pan. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the cabbage.

• Step5

  Add ½ a cup of stock and simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes. Add 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin or coriander. Mix well and cool.

• Step6

  Add 125 ml (½ cup) of heavy cream and mix.

• Step7

  Cover the work surface with a large cloth and sprinkle with flour. Use a rolling pin and roll the dough as thinly as you can. Then use your hands and stretch the dough from the center out, until very thin and almost transparent.

• Step8

  Trim the thicker edge. You could cut the dough in half and make 2 smaller pastries, or roll one large strudel.

• Step9

  Brush the dough with some melted butter. Spread the cabbage filling evenly over the dough. Strain the remaining liquid left in the pan through a chinois and serve as a delicious sauce.

• Step10

  Roll up the dough, use the linen to help you roll. Transfer the strudel to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, brush with melted butter.

• Step11

  Bake at 220°C (430°F) for about 45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and brush with the remaining butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
